How to Test Account Recovery Key and View 2FA Recovery Codes

Hi, I have recently reset my phone and lost all my Google Authenticator codes. This required me to jump through a lot of hoops to get access back to all of my accounts (I'm still in the process for some accounts). On one occasion, I had backup recovery codes, but they weren't working. I noted that some organisations have the ability to view your recovery key and codes, and others don't. Does Firefox have the ability to do this so that users know that if something happens, they will be able to recover? If not, is this something they can implement?

Kind Regards, M.

In browser settings i've disabled telemetry and data sharing with "mozilla". Why do put mozilla in quotes? Because the data is actually going to google. I'm monitoring my computers connections and i see firefox connecting to google immediately after opening the browser, that's without connecting to any website. Firefox used to be a great privacy browser, these times are long gone and it's a shame. Mozilla, you have lost all honor.

Plus, libraries of firefox are proprietary? Which part exactly? Forks of firefox are most likely affected by the sroprietary libraries aren't they...

I'm having trouble with my laptop battery and my laptop completely died. I got it working again but now Firefox doesn't have my logins for some reason. The Profile folder showed logins.json, logins.json.corrupt, and logins-backup.json. I changed logins.json to logins-old.json and changed logins.json.corrupt to logins.json like I saw in many solutions but that does not work. It just becomes logins.json.corrupt again. I tried the same with Logins-backup.json but still just changed to corrupt. I refreshed firefox but still the same. I made a new profile and copied the file and tried to get it to work there but still changes back to corrupt every time. I'm Windows 8.1 so there is no Previous Versions tab in properties so I can't go back to a previous version of the file. Is there ajny way to fix this and get my passwords back?

Hail all:

I have my settings set to "absolute" Strict. this option greys out to add exceptions. But it blocks sometimes safe sites as well.

How can I run strict, and still be able to add certain websites, thus overcome the greyed out Add Exception Button?

Thank you.

Doing a flight search on the Easyjet airline website brings up this message.

You don't have permission to access "http://www.easyjet.com/en/buy/flights?" on this server. Reference #18.a2051702.1680270222.a72aa67

How do I give permission to allow the search to go ahead? It's pretty annoying to come out of Firefox and use Safari where this doesn't happen. Thanks

Hello!

So a while back I deleted (shift-delete or ctrl-delete, whichever it is) an auto-complete address from preferences. Turns out I kinda need it back and I shouldn't have deleted it... Is there a way to get that address back into the auto-complete list? I've tried adding it as a bookmark, but that didn't seem to help. Ideas? Or is it gone forever..

Thanks! J

I have trouble logging into Yahoo email using Firefox, since the last update. It gives error message that site cannot be reached. I can go into settings, Privacy and clear data and then it logs in just fine, but to do this EVERY time I try to log in is a real PITA. Does not happen on other browsers.

I leave the country for several months a year to a country that is not supported for credit card autofill, and it doesn't work while I am there. However, once I return to the U.S. the autofill menu has disappeared from the Privacy & Security Tab, so I am unable to turn autofill back on. In the past I have had to uninstall/reinstall Firefox to make credit card autofill work -- until I leave the country again. Surely I am not the only user that has had this problem and having to uninstall/reinstall is a pain that users shouldn't have. Isn't there a better way to turn this function on and off?

Hi,

I use a PIN for my Microsoft laptop and I have forgotten my Microsoft account password. I don't want to change the password as my PC back-ups using Paragon software "might" be tied to my current pin and password.

If I log into my Microsoft account with Firefox, I am prompted for an email address. After entering my address the password is automatically entered by Firefox. Great.

But the login details are not stored under Firefox - Paswords. There is no Microsoft entry in Passwords.

Where might the password it be stored?

Thanks Hans

"Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.webmail.ilhawaii.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

This problem just occurred for the first time. I contacted the website and they say I need to update the certificate in firefox. How do I do this?

I have a Substack newsletter and am trying to record audio for a voice-over of a post/article. For some strange reason, even though I have it set to Allow that website to have access to my Built-In microphone, I get a pop-up error window "Unable to setup microphone!" when I try to record. It's simply refusing to acknowledge the Permission setting.

What's strange is that I *am* able to record a video and within that video, the audio IS recorded, so Firefox is allowing access to my camera AND my Built-In microphone when recording a video. The url is *exactly* the same for Camera Permissions and Microphone Permissions in Firefox Settings. Weird, right?

It is ONLY when I try to record a voice-over (audio ONLY) that it won't allow me to do so. I have to switch to Safari. I'd like to stay on Firefox and not have to switch back and forth. Any ideas how to fix this? I've cleared my cache, restarted my iMac, removed website from Permissions then put it back on.

Firefox is up-to-date: 111.0.1 (64-bit) MacOS Big Sur Version 11.7.4 (iMac)

Should I uninstall Firefox then re-install it? And, if so, will it keep my Bookmarks, Toolbar sites, info, etc? I read some instructions for Windows PC, but couldn't find anything re: a Mac re-install or "Clean Re-Install" for iMacs. Thanks in advance for any help!
